Step 5 - Take the Manual Hits

PC-DMIS moves you through the process of measuring four manual hits through a series of message boxes. You will take the first hit for the HR-MP (used with TM or THD) Probe Changer on the back surface of the last port (for example, port 3).

The following message prompts you to open all the lids and take the first hit:

Take a hit on the back of port 3 just above the probe support tab.

1. When you are ready to take the first measurement, click OK.

2. Use your machine's jog box to take the first manual hit on the back surface of port 3 and just above the probe support tab, as shown below:

3. Repeat the step 1 and 2 as prompted for all the ports.

WARNING: When you do this, the machine moves. To avoid injury, stay clear of the machine. To avoid hardware damage, run the machine at a slower speed.

In the next step, you take the manual hit on the top of the probe support tab.
